You are the chillest comic book youtuber I've found. Absolutely love this channel. I just started 3rd shift at my job and need some reading material. Your channel definitely has helped immensely. Thank you!
It's criminal that War Journal and War Zone have never seen omni format, the Carl Potts/Jim Lee stuff were some of his most classic badass stories ever but Marvel only ever seem focused on re-printing the Ennis stuff.
My man, you're helping me go broke! I've been binge watching your content and loving it, keep it up. Just picked up the Garth Ennis Punisher Omnibus from Amazon. Can't get as good deals from Instocktrades being in Canada.
The Punisher deserves more material from the 90s with the Omnibus or HC Oversized’s treatment .... I expect with the current exposure from the Netflix series we’ll get more material from that era ....
My first punisher comic was punisher volume 3 and I loved it. Barracuda was funny and insane. The slavers story was disturbing and cool. I was amazed by the artwork in the slavers story.
Josh Young definitely, I’ve read all those too. Just trying to think if I need to include Avengers or Fantastic Four by Hickman. Is that considered cosmic? Haven’t read those yet.
I have a fan theory regarding Punisher MAX that goes into the original marvel comic run. Spoiler alert if you haven't read Wolverine Origins or Punisher MAX Born. Wolverine Origins introduced a character that essentially was the mastermind for the creation of Wolverine, Deadpool, Omega Red, Daken, Sabretooth, etc.. His name was Romulus and he was the first human-like creature as well as the true first mutant with telepathic abilities, claws, and a healing factor to ever be created. What if The Punisher was another weapon Romulus helped to create. Throughout the Punisher MAX: Born series Castle was talking to a certain entity within himself goading him into becoming what he eventually will become. It came to a head at the end when he accepted the offer and he inhumanly killed three dozen Vietnamese soldiers while soaking up seven bullets. At the end this entity says that he will grant Castle his wish, but there will be a cost, hence the splash page of Castle's family. What I'm getting at is what if Romulus was that entity and the actual mastermind that killed Castle's family from the shadows? As well as pulling his strings like he did with all the other weapons throughout their lives the same way. Idk but I think its a pretty awesome theory. Depending on how well you know the Romulus character.
I took it as a deal with the devil as well or possibly Frank becoming so shellshocked he began talking to himself to that extent. It kinda bothered me how Ennis never mentioned or explained this later on in the run, but the thing that stuck out to me was the entity saying Frank won't hear from him again or remember the past conversations, so that debunks the shellshock theory... I can't see Frank being that crazy. Also why would the devil wipe his mind? He has no reason to... Frank can't get to him... Or hurt him... It sounds to me like an entity in the physical realm, on Earth, afraid of Frank finding out and hunting him down after Frank puts two and two together.
Thank god I hope he sticks to MAX... He most likely will, due to his hate for regular marvel. I haven't read Platoon either, but I doubt he'll explain it other than the devil since he hates similar marvel powered characters in his books. But hey, I could be wrong. I'd just be happy if he revives the MAX run with Platoon or future punisher books which may be a stretch in itself.
Thanks, it'd be awesome if he could reboot the MAX-verse after war stories, making Punisher similar to Netflix's punisher, with him being an Afghan vet and younger. It would be cool if Ennis and Robertson do that Punisher series, Daken being a Kirkman and Hitch series, with Moon Knight and Cage both being a Bendis series.
Thomas Garrison whoa Bendis switched to DC? When did he? And yeah I liked Leandro's artwork also... It kinda took a while for me to get used to in Kitchen Irish,(which I now kinda blame the colorist for) but I ended up loving it in later stories.
Which would you advice me to choose between these ones to approach the character ? I would love to begin with Ennis's punisher, cause I've heard a lot of good opinions about him, but I don't know if it would be the best option. Thanks and big up for the channel, amazing content.
12:24 this trade group of omnis for retail, where is it? Is it a website? Or how can I find it? Cause I’m eyeing a handful of OOP omnis that I refuse to pay the obscene resale price for
Okay so the Marvel knights Omnibus and the max Omnibus from Garth ennis have completely different material??? I’m trying to buy one but I always thought they were the same thing or just one had a couple more issues. But so they’re completely different ???
hey im a fan and would like to request the dark horse aliens series and the robocop and predator and gi joe if possible, love watching these, thanks mate
Just recently started watching your channel bc I’ve realized I wanna get statues in the near future. If you see this, I gotta know how you felt about Garth’s run, assuming you’ve read it by now?! It’s so good imo. If you liked it, check out Fury: My War Gone By 🔥
Hey, do The Punisher max comics volume 1 to volume 6 cover the full punisher story.. or the story so far ( if theres more volumes to be made.) Also where can i i purchase the volumes? I see some on amazon but im not sure if its these versions because it says "paperback"
So there's no omnibus/omnibi collecting all of his 80's comic books like his self-titled book or Warzone? You say the volume 3 is one of the more expensive ones and I can see why; it has the Slavers storyline which is probably the most well known Punisher story since Welcome Back, Frank.
I'm reading the list by marvel in tp. spoiler "wolverine kills the hell out of punisher" he chops his head off and cuts him in half. does that mean punisher is dead for real or is it just that books version? thx for the review, he's kind of cool.
Punisher is my favorite marvel character but I don’t dig any of the illustrators style, other than the first omnibus because it’s a classic vintage style. The last 6 max volumes illustration look ok at best, just don’t feel like none of the illustrators haven’t gotten it right with punisher yet 🤷♂️
jason aaron run is the last run man it ends it before is another that goes on but not by ennis!! all worthy! BORN IS A MUST IS OOP BUT IS IN THE OMNI COLL. HE DID TPB PLATOON............PUNISHER STARTING IN THE WAR....
as a punisher fan since 1983 i know all garth max punisher is best i feel, just him no other superhero shit then garth mknights but there are several think 8-12 gotta buy in single issues as not done by garth so not in his book , the other jason a comes AFTER garth, ......
FYI must say own all, but the great marvel knights sadly missing 11 issues i recall, as i own i got lucky they were an ebay lot cheap! but they fir! to be complete not in omni as 11 issues written by another shoulda been in this but maybe greed? don't know know garth changed my man punisher for best, the b/white volumes of ongoing punisher essential should be here huge books essential makes cheap em n black white but eacy own then got all think $100 but trying buy epic collection ones as those are in color....harder get these days....essential like all hulk b n w glad got still....of ongoing a jim lee book 1-19 (not the 1-9 version! as covers are same!) must own punisher war journal where they give him that iconic rambo like white then red head band!!!.............i like the marvel knights crazy tpb punisher purgatory demonic angel type shit punisher had these god gods bad ass fun man!!!.............Marvel Knights Defenders of the Streets kicks ass too man DD/punisher so on..., MARVEL KNIGHTS 20TH tpb w punisher DD elektra...worth owning too, shit cosmic ghost rider is punisher!! worth owning in thanaos wins and 1-5 cgrider baby thanos must die!..............punisher wolverine collection tpb all the old school mini runs of punisher vs or teams w wolverine great book!!!,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,
ps 2 tpb great stuff when he takes war machines suit awesome man, then 3 oop pricey tpb's by rukka a must have i feel a ohc i feel is deserved bad for the 3 tpb!!!....other tpb of course own so much but these stick out
I wouldn't worry too much about editing and extra features, your videos are damn good as they are. I really like the channel.
forgerelli1 cool, thanks for the feedback.
co sign. i watch these every day. more like "listen"

@@GemMintCollectibles btw were should i start reading punisher and dd sorry im replying to a comment thats 3 years ago
You are the chillest comic book youtuber I've found. Absolutely love this channel. I just started 3rd shift at my job and need some reading material. Your channel definitely has helped immensely. Thank you!
It's criminal that War Journal and War Zone have never seen omni format, the Carl Potts/Jim Lee stuff were some of his most classic badass stories ever but Marvel only ever seem focused on re-printing the Ennis stuff.
the punisher was lame and weak during his war journal run and his 2099' time never forget his rubber bullet days
I like the freestyle nature of your videos, it's different from most comic channels.
NFLDude56 cool, easier for me lol
Totally man, you won't have to spend another hour or two on editing and exporting.
@@GemMintCollectibles yea you got a good channel man
My man, you're helping me go broke! I've been binge watching your content and loving it, keep it up. Just picked up the Garth Ennis Punisher Omnibus from Amazon. Can't get as good deals from Instocktrades being in Canada.
haha awesome
Your channel definitivly deserve higher production value, nice vid, keep it up!:)
we'll get it there
Great Video. I just ordered the Punisher back to the war after watching your video. I am a huge Punisher fan. I have over 450 comics of him.
Thanks for mentioning in stock trades. Appreciate the tip
seth elmy man IST is the only way to go brotha
Gem Mint Collectibles honestly I been some for really good prices at mile high comics too. Lol I know people never say that but I swear
The Punisher deserves more material from the 90s with the Omnibus or HC Oversized’s treatment .... I expect with the current exposure from the Netflix series we’ll get more material from that era ....
yea we need that whole solo run in an omni
Great video.
Doing a series myself going through my entire collection of Punisher comics
I want that Rick Remender Omnibus,dont think its available anymore
My first punisher comic was punisher volume 3 and I loved it.
Barracuda was funny and insane.
The slavers story was disturbing and cool. I was amazed by the artwork in the slavers story.
Hey Gem loving these vids man keep em coming! Can you do the marvel cosmic run?
Josh Young definitely, I’ve read all those too. Just trying to think if I need to include Avengers or Fantastic Four by Hickman. Is that considered cosmic? Haven’t read those yet.
Gem Mint Collectibles I’m unsure as I haven’t read those runs either sorry.
That Marvel Knights Punisher omnibus is frigging big man! That looks like a lot of read right there man
This guy is mine and every nerd’s dream
Sounds gay
Very sus
Sus
‘A lil’ face action there’ lol
Reminds me that there hasn't been a Punisher: War Journal omnibus yet.
YET.
Awesome stuff. Just ordered my omnibus series from all over the place - amazon/e-bay! *ouch
ive done that before too
Hell yeah dats a good idea,your train of thoughts is on da right track 👍

may get the omnis when they come out. Some of those volumes are stupidly expensive!
yea they are cheap when new
This is a dope vid. I hope Marvel does more with Frank Castle as well as the Cosmic Ghost Rider
Which would you advice me to choose between these ones to approach the character ? I would love to begin with Ennis's punisher, cause I've heard a lot of good opinions about him, but I don't know if it would be the best option. Thanks and big up for the channel, amazing content.
I’m just hoping they reprint the Jason Aaron run! It’s the only max run I don’t have 😭
12:24 this trade group of omnis for retail, where is it? Is it a website? Or how can I find it? Cause I’m eyeing a handful of OOP omnis that I refuse to pay the obscene resale price for
Yo what's good..what's the name of the omni group you mentioned in the video where they don't price gouge? ..Would appreciate the heads
Could you please do a revisit video for these, please?
Okay so the Marvel knights Omnibus and the max Omnibus from Garth ennis have completely different material??? I’m trying to buy one but I always thought they were the same thing or just one had a couple more issues. But so they’re completely different ???

#salute to u my g for doin this request and by the way is "resurrection of ma gnucci" in the Garth Ennis and Steve Dillon omnibus?
So envious you have the complete oversized issues. I am missing book 4. It has a crazy high price!
BTW, where is Punisher. Franken-Castle?
What's the new one getting printed in June 2024? Is that a reprint of one of these?
Punisher MAX The Slavers Arc Is Awesome
It looks like you have hair in the thumbnail😂😂
lol Akuma hair
I would kill for that Punisher Max Omnibus. It’s oop everywhere I’ve looked, wish it got reprinted
Well... you're in luck! The new reprint came out about a month ago. It's retailing for $100 USD.
Hey, do The Punisher max comics volume 1 to volume 6 cover the full punisher story.. or the story so far ( if theres more volumes to be made.)
Also where can i i purchase the volumes? I see some on amazon but im not sure if its these versions because it says "paperback"
I love punisher circle of blood by steve grant mike zeck and mike vosburg and punisher war journal by carl potts and jim lee both amazing reads
So there's no omnibus/omnibi collecting all of his 80's comic books like his self-titled book or Warzone?
You say the volume 3 is one of the more expensive ones and I can see why; it has the Slavers storyline which is probably the most well known Punisher story since Welcome Back, Frank.
Punisher Max Omnibus vol. 1 comes out next month!!
yea...ill need to sell my OHCs...maybe give away
tasan215 is it gonna have the whole max 1 thru 5
Lord Steveo Just Garth Ennis' run
When will we get some Remender reprints???
i havent heard
I'm reading the list by marvel in tp. spoiler "wolverine kills the hell out of punisher" he chops his head off and cuts him in half. does that mean punisher is dead for real or is it just that books version? thx for the review, he's kind of cool.
yea, he's not dead in the 616 marvel universe. like you said, just in that book.
Just so you know in the description you misspelled max to mac so you might have to press edit and go to description and fix the word.
thanks, never noticed that.
One shot. One take. Frank Castle approves this message.
I know im 3 years late but where did you say got them cheap?
You're reviews are really good. Don't own any punisher omnibus.
thanks brotha...glad you like the videos, I enjoy doing them.
Your welcome brotha. Wish I owned some punisher omnibuses. I've gotten 5 books from you're reviews.
Are you in a Facebook Omnibus collectors group?
Puff Puff Comics yea sir. I was on omnibros live a few weeks ago too.
Garth eniss is awesome
I found a copy of the Remender Omnibus at Half Price Books for $200. I had a coupon and got it for $100. Seems like it was a good deal.
i eneded up buying my Remender copy for cover price too ($100)
Gem Mint Collectibles I’ve been on a Punisher kick lately so I love these omnibuses.
I can't afford omnibus for everything so I usually get the essentials for 10 dollars and if I really like the run i pick up a epic collection/ omnibus
100k here we come 👊
lol
Would you be kind enough to do a new version of this video?
I've never read or owned a comic book so can anyone please tell me if I wanted to read the punisher which one should I go for first?
Welcome back Frank is the best start
Punisher is my favorite marvel character but I don’t dig any of the illustrators style, other than the first omnibus because it’s a classic vintage style. The last 6 max volumes illustration look ok at best, just don’t feel like none of the illustrators haven’t gotten it right with punisher yet 🤷♂️
Does anyone know if PUNISHER YEAR ONE is available In omnibus format? Or just a tpb having a hard time finding one!
Never heard of
